Book excerpt: A cook. A speech therapist. A credit union executive. A fashion model-turned-cancer activist. A secretary. A homemaker -- all were mothers. Nineteen lives cut short -- women from all walks of life, hailing from every corner of the United States and a province in Canada. Some were homemakers with little or no formal education; others were career women with college degrees and accomplished resumes. Regardless of their backgrounds, all these women share one thing in common: an addiction to smoking that culminated in an array of illnesses and their untimely demise. Their stories, told by their surviving daughters, pay tribute to the mothers they lost, often at pivotal moments in the daughters' lives, and the legacy they continue to live with every day. A Breath Away offers a powerful anti-smoking message that goes beyond the statistics to today's generation of girls and young women, to think twice before lighting up.

It didn't take long to realize it was not an easy endeavor. Someone said, "You can't learn anything from a golf book, but you have to read a lot of golf books to find that out!" I found the gurus of golf instruction: Ledbetter, Pelz, and Hogan, who was said to have written the book with the secret! I did find one that really attracted me but in a somewhat different way.

Book excerpt: Sometime between 1963 and 1966 on Bainbridge Island, Washington, Joel Pritchard and his friend Bill Bell using only ping pong paddles, an old badminton court, a net and a whiffle ball invented a game that the whole family could play and called it "Pickleball." The name probably derived from row boats called "pickle boats" and probably not from the famous Pritchard dog named after the game. It is a fast paced game that involves hand-eye coordination skills that are used in many racket sports such as tennis, ping pong, paddleball and racquetball. One of the most amazing characteristics of pickleball is that it can be played by anyone at any age at any level, making it an ideal family activity. During the past 5 decades pickleball has flourished and has become one of America's favorite participatory sports. It has been played in backyards, elementary schools, middle schools, high schools and is now becoming popular as a collegiate club sport. Every player and teacher can have FUN and develop basic body coordination skills by playing pickleball if they smile and respect the people they play with regardless of skill level, gender or age. Pickleball is one of the great sports where basic skills and games can be played at all levels and is a fantastic family activity. This book provides a comprehensive guide for teachers and players with a special cookbook for kids.
